Bio
“Philipp Vogler – pianist, conductor, composer and professor at the University of Music in Munich Germany, and Hélène Lindqvist – the most famous Swedish-Egyptian soprano of our times. Together as Lindqvist & Vogler we have been an art song duo for over ten years. We aim for a 'live' feeling to our recordings; using uncut, single-take material only.”

The Afro-British composer and conductor Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875-1912) is profiled at AfriClassical.com. Preparations are underway to observe the centennial of his death next year. Groups involved include the Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Foundation, http://www.sctf.org.uk/, a nonprofit organization based in the United Kingdom.
